The past couple of weeks have been hopping! Mama and Sissy came to visit a couple of weekends ago which was a lot of fun! Sissy was meeting up with some friends from high school, so Mama rode up with her and came to our house! Well, I haven't been shopping much (besides Publix and CVS) since we moved here, so I was ready to go when Mama got here! The first afternoon we hit Trader Joe's. Reagan was so cute walking around and filling up her own cart. Of course it's fun to go with Grannie, too! She bought us some fun things that we don't normally buy - like super yummy cherries! Then we went home for some grilled burgers and a game of dominoes! We got up the next morning and all of us girls went to Kohl's, Target, had a little Starbucks and went to this mom-and-pop produce place to see about getting some peaches. Then Steve watched the girls all afternoon and evening and Mama and I went to the Perimeter and Lenox! I was able to get some fun things - my best buy was a pair of Gap jeans for $10!! It was great to just some one-on-one time with Mama! We picked Sissy up late and got to have a couple of laughs with her "crew" and headed home. I was glad we were able to visit at least a little bit before they had to leave on Sunday!
Then, last Thursday JJ flew in from Wales. We were her first stop back in the States and it was so fun hearing her new way of talking =) and getting to have her chocolate chip pancakes and be with her as she talked about how much she loves being back in America and hear all about her year!! It was a whirlwind and I think we talked almost the entire time. (I think Reagan was getting a little annoyed at how much I was "hogging" JJ!) I am grateful to God for bringing JJ into our lives when He did. She is one of the most encouraging people I know and her desire to serve and glorify the Lord is contagious!
This past Sunday we spent the afternoon at the Pfallers' house for lunch and played some cards. It was so relaxing and fun! Then when we got home we ordered pizza and watch Kit (the American Girl movie) with the girls. It was so much fun (except that I cried through almost the whole movie - I didn't realize it was going to be so sad!!). I love when we all snuggle up on the couch together and watch movies or read books!
Wow! I'm sitting here thinking about the last few weeks and just how kind God has been to give us such amazing family and friends! This week we've been to the pool with friends, today the girls and I went to a new friends house and the rest of the week and next week is full of the same. Then we head to the beach for family vacation (the first for the 5 of us!!) and then to Orlando for a week! Hopefully I'll take lots of pictures!
I have some new pictures, I just have to find them! =) Will post them soon!
